Participants in the meeting are likely to discuss "economic mismanagement" and "anti-people" policies of the Narendra Modi-led government, as well as contentious bills pertaining to land acquisition and Goods and Services Tax.

They will also deliberate on the "cuts" in budgetary allocations for the social sector by the National Democratic Alliance government.
